DANCE RECITAL 2018

This past weekend was the girls' second dance recital.  This year, our Saturday only included the two full recitals instead of also packing in another major event, which I'm so thankful for, because as it turns out, two full recitals for three girls in one day is plenty.

Last year, we had a much rougher time with the professional pics, but this year, V and crew were all happy to smile and pose.

Violet was up in the morning recital, and she enjoyed getting time with these sweet friends throughout the year!  They were all SO cute dancing.  Violet did a fantastic job performing and being a part of everything, and it was encouraging to my heart to see her succeed so smashingly!

Bella and Lily were both in the afternoon performance.  Bella did both a tap and ballet performance.  Her dance faces are so serious!  She told me that she loves being on the stage with all the people looking at them and getting to wear the beautiful costumes.  She did great, and it was so fun to watch her perform.

Lily had 3 performances - tap, ballet and jazz.  Ballet is her favorite, and since the music was Tale as Old as Time - it turned out to be my favorite too, though they were all super cute.  She also enjoyed having a friend in class with her.  Because the big girls had 5 combined performances, it meant we got to stay for the entirety of the afternoon recital which made a long day of it.  However, it is a joy to see your kids do something that they have worked for!  Also- Lily is a bit of a ham.

We don't know yet whether or not we will continue dance next year, but we have had such a fabulous experience at Shuffles - they are so kind and take such great care to know each girl!

Thankful to have this item checked off of our May list!
